FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the half-zip design?

The half-zip allows for easy adjustment of ventilation and temperature regulation. You can unzip it for more airflow when you're active or feeling warm, and zip it up for increased warmth when it's colder.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?

While the fleece provides good warmth, it is best suited as a mid-layer. For very cold or snowy conditions, it should be combined with an insulating base layer and a waterproof/windproof outer shell for optimal protection.

How should I care for this fleece to ensure its longevity?

It's recommended to machine wash cold with similar colors, use a mild detergent, and avoid bleach. For drying, tumble dry on low or hang dry to maintain the fabric's softness and shape.

Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer?

Yes, in milder conditions, it can be worn as an outer layer. However, its primary design is as a mid-layer for added warmth and it lacks the windproof and waterproof features of a dedicated outer shell.

What type of activities is this fleece best suited for?

It is ideal for a range of activities including hiking, walking, camping, and general outdoor pursuits in cool to moderate weather. It's also comfortable for casual everyday wear.

What material is the Stockholm Half Zip Fleece made from?

The fleece is crafted from a soft, breathable fabric designed for warmth and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece fibers. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. You can also apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Garment loses shape over time

Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid overwashing and opt for air drying when possible to maintain the garment's structure.
